UNR Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity suspended by national chapter

A fraternity started at the University of Nevada in 1929 has been suspended by its national board.

The reason the Lambda Chi Alpha Epsilon-Iota chapter was suspended was not discussed in an statement issued by the fraternity's national Board of Directors.

It said the fraternity was closed as of Tuesday and every effort will be made to return the fraternity to campus.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to offer the proper undergraduate experience at this time," Nick Zuniga, director of chapter services for Lambda Chi Alpha, said in a statement. "We greatly value the Epsilon-Iota alumni and our collaborative relationship with the university. We look forward to our return to campus."

Under terms of the suspension, chapter members cannot represent Lambda Chi Alpha, display the fraternity's emblems or symbols or gather in the name of Lambda Chi Alpha, the statement said.

The UNR chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority in October was suspended until mid-February after two calls were made in October to a hazing hotline, a spokeswoman for the sorority's national headquarters in Missouri said.
